Curtain Pole Ring No. 236,486. Patented Jan. '11, 1-881.

UNITED STATES JOHN DAY, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

CURTAIN-POLE RING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 236,486, dated January 11, 1881.

Application filed December 9, 1880.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN DAY, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Ourtain-Pole Rings, of which the following is a specification.

Curtains have been suspended from horizontal poles of a more or less ornamental character, and rings and hooks have been used for this purpose of wire; but the rings are complete, and this renders it necessary to braze the ends of the wire, and hence they are expensive.

My present invention is made for lessening the cost of constructing the rings, increasing the bearingsurface of the ring upon the pole, rendering the ring slightly yielding, so that the curtain will not be liable to injury by any sudden strain, and the ring is rendered highly ornamental.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side View of the ring, and Fig. 2 is an edge view of the same.

The ring is made of wire in the form of a short helix, (0, and there is a loop or eye, 1), upon the same, to which the curtain is con nected by a ring or shield-pin, or by sewing.

(No model.)

The helix 0. has free ends, so as to be springy and yielding, and not form a rigid ring, as heretofore usual, and the convolutions of the spring form three or four bearings upon the upper part of the cornicepole.

I prefer to make the eye b of the same piece of wire as the other parts of the helical ring, as shown; but it may be a separate piece of metal applied at the same place upon the helix.

This cornice or curtain-pole ring is strong, cheap, easily made, and highly ornamental.

I claim as my invention 1. The ring for curtain-poles, made of wire in the form of a helix, with the ring or loop I) at the lower portion thereof for receiving the curtain, substantially as set forth.

' 2. The curtain-pole ring made of a helix and having the loop I), all formed of one piece of wire, substantially as set forth.

Signed by me this 6th day of December, A. D. 1880.

JOHN DAY.
